Flake finish, reviewed August 2026

Granite

Mid-grey blend that reads like cut stone. Neutral enough for a finished basement, tough enough for a working garage.

Hides dirt

Watch out for

Granite is deliberately unremarkable. If you want the floor to be a feature of the room, this is not the blend, and no amount of gloss will make it one. Metallic or Ember will.

The quiet version of Domino

Granite and Domino solve the same problem with different volume. Both are three-tone blends with enough internal contrast to bury dust and tire marking, but Granite keeps its tones within a narrower range, so the pattern reads as cut stone rather than as speckle. In a room where the floor is a background, a finished basement with furniture, a garage that opens into a mudroom, that difference matters more than it sounds. People notice a Domino floor. They notice a room with a Granite floor in it.

It gives light back

At a mid-grey overall value, Granite reflects meaningfully more light than a charcoal blend, which is why it is our default recommendation for below-grade rooms. A basement lit by six pot lights and one small window has no light to lose to the floor, and a dark floor in that room makes the ceiling feel lower than it is. Granite lifts it without going pale enough to show every mark, which is the trap at the other end of the range.

Where it goes in a working garage

Granite handles a daily-driver garage without complaint. Hot-tire pickup is a product question rather than a colour question, and the polyaspartic topcoat we finish with does not soften under a warm tire regardless of what is underneath it. What Granite does slightly better than a dark blend is show you where the oil drip actually is, which people either appreciate or do not. If your car marks the floor and you would rather not know, go darker.

Granite questions

Which is better for a basement, Granite or Domino?

Granite, in most below-grade rooms. Both hide dirt equally well, but Granite is roughly two tones lighter overall, so it returns light to a room that has none to spare. Domino is the better choice where there is real daylight, or where you want the floor to have some presence.

Does a grey epoxy floor look cold?

It can, under cool white lighting. Granite carries a warm grey chip in the blend specifically to stop that, but if the room is lit at 5000K and above, any grey floor will read clinical. Warming the lighting to 3000K does more for the room than changing the floor colour, and if you want warmth in the floor itself, Wheat is the blend to look at.
